This manual provides critical safety instructions on the proper setup,
operation, maintenance, and service of this machine/tool. Save this
document, refer to it often, and use it to instruct other operators.
Failure to read, understand and follow the instructions in this manual
may result in fire or serious personal injury—including amputation,
electrocution, or death.
The owner of this machine/tool is solely responsible for its safe use.
This responsibility includes but is not limited to proper installation in
a safe environment, personnel training and usage authorization,
proper inspection and maintenance, manual availability and compre-
hension, application of safety devices, cutting/sanding/grinding tool
integrity, and the usage of personal protective equipment.
The manufacturer will not be held liable for injury or property damage
from negligence, improper training, machine modifications or misuse.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
Work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equip-
ment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.

No list of safety guidelines can be complete.
Every shop environment is different. Always
consider safety first, as it applies to your
individual working conditions. Use this and
other machinery with caution and respect.
Failure to do so could result in serious per-
sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor
work results.
Like all machinery there is potential danger
when operating this tool. Accidents are
frequently caused by lack of familiarity or
failure to pay attention. Use this tool with
respect and caution to decrease the risk of
operator injury. If normal safety precautions
are overlooked or ignored, serious personal
injury may occur.

The following is a list of common definitions, terms and phrases used throughout this manual as they relate
to this track saw and woodworking in general. Become familiar with these terms for assembling, adjusting
or operating this tool. Your safety is VERY important to us at Grizzly!
Arbor: Metal shaft extending from the drive
mechanism, to which saw blade is mounted.
The blade is held in place on the arbor using a
special arbor bolt and arbor washer.
Bevel Edge Cut: Tilting the saw blade to an
angle between 0° and 45° to cut a beveled
edge onto a workpiece.
Blade Guard: Metal or plastic safety device that
encases the saw blade. Its function is to pre-
vent the operator from coming into contact with
the saw blade.
Kerf: The resulting cut or gap in the workpiece
after the saw blade passes through during a
cutting operation.
Kickback: An event in which the tool is propelled
back towards the operator at a high rate of
speed.
Parallel: Being an equal distance apart at every
point along two given lines or planes. I.e. the
rip fence face is parallel to the face of the saw
blade.
Perpendicular: Lines or planes that intersect
and form right angles. I.e. the blade is perpen-
dicular to the table surface.
Plunge Cut: A sawing operation in which the
cut is started above the workpiece; the blade
engages the workpiece by "plunging" down at
the beginning of the cut, and advances once
the blade cuts through the workpiece.
Rip Cut: Cutting operation in which the rip fence
is used to cut with the grain, or across the wid-
est width of the workpiece.
Riving Knife: Metal plate located behind the
blade. It maintains the kerf opening in the wood
when performing a cutting operation.
Straightedge: A tool used to check the flatness,
parallelism, or consistency of a surface(s).
Through Cut: A sawing operation in which the
workpiece is completely sawn through.

DISCONNECT POWER FIRST. Always disconnect
tool from power supply BEFORE making adjust-
ments, changing tooling, or servicing machine. This
prevents an injury risk from unintended startup or
contact with live electrical components.
EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved
safety glasses or a face shield when operating or
observing machinery to reduce the risk of eye
injury or blindness from flying particles. Everyday
eyeglasses are not approved safety glasses.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY. Tool plug must match
outlet. Double-insulated tools have a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other), which
must be plugged into a polarized outlet. Never
modify plug. Do not use adapter for grounded
tools. Use a ground fault circuit interrupter if
operation is unavoidable in damp locations. Avoid
touching grounded surfaces when operating tool.
OWNER’S MANUAL. Read and understand this
owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.
TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained oper-
ators have a higher risk of being hurt or killed.
Only allow trained/supervised people to use this
power tool. When tool is not being used, discon-
nect power, and store in out-of-reach location
to prevent unauthorized use—especially around
children. Make workshop kid proof!
DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use
tools in areas that are wet, cluttered, or have poor
lighting. Operating tools in these areas greatly
increases risk of accidents and injury.
MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED. Full mental
alertness is required for safe operation of power
tools. Never operate under the influence of drugs
or alcohol, when tired, or when distracted.
For Your Own Safety, Read Instruction
Manual Before Operating this Power Tool
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions.
This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words intended to convey the level of impor-
tance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that
safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper
accident prevention measures. Always use common sense and good judgment.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
MAY result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert
against unsafe practices.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
COULD result in death or serious injury.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
WILL result in death or serious injury.
This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about
proper operation of the machine.
